I cannot tell you how many times I have been to that seeming "point of no return" only to find myself back on top, completely bewildered and surprised that I stuck it. The other element here that a lot of people forget is that riding cross country water obstacles makes things WET ... the horse, the saddle, you, etc. So, the ride is more slick and slippery. Way to go sticking that watery wobble, Mr CF!
